Medium after dad - do you believe?

I am by no way religious, but now I (32) have lost my dad (58) so quickly to this vile disease I think you have to believe there is something happy after this, you have to believe you will see them again and this isn't it. 
We all look for signs, the white feathers, the robins, but 
curiosity got the better of me and I had a reading in December 9 months after my dad went to sleep. 
I could go on for a long time with all the things even non dad related that she couldn't possibly have known, but the moment I sat down the lady said, there is a man here with you, it's your dad. 
Why wouldn't she have said my mum, a grandparent, a friend?! I really truly believe he is with us still everyday and I know when I talk to him he listens, she told me that. 
 

So really all I wanted to say was that I took a lot of comfort from this, I wasn't scared or freaked out by it and for anyone grieving someone so close like me I think it is so lovely to believe we will see them again. 

  • Hi Sunshine 

     

    What a fantastic experience...glad you were able to find some comfort from this xxx 

    In the past, I never described myself as overly spiritual or religious. However, too many weird things have happened to me over the years. I've denied most of them but...if I add them all up, there's just got to be something going on in that next life. I'm convinced now. 
    I also saw a medium and she described my parent exactly (who was on the extreme side of unique....). I took some comfort in that! 
    I 100% believe we will meet our loved ones again :) xxx 

  • I would love to hear more stories about mediums.  It gives me such comfort. I would love to visit one. 

  • Hey there, 

    I had a "reading" years ago and I wrote down what I was told. My mum kept the piece of paper and only recenly she said to me she had been reading it and did I remember that I was told I would have four children? I didnt remember that but like I said I wrote it down. At the time I was in my early twenties and Id had sepsis after the birth of my eldest daughter which they said at the hospital had left me unable to have any more children due to the scaring of my Falopian tubes. They also said to me that I was lucky as I already had a boy and a girl so I counted my blessings really. 

    So fast forward to me being age 35, I suddenly started feeling very sick and bloated, I fainted and just couldnt work out what was wrong....... I felt dreadful. You can imagine my shock when a scan revealed I was pregnant with not only one baby but two-it was twins! So now I do have four children! 

    She also said Id be married a second time but that time would be to the right person and would last for ever and I must confess I am still waiting (!!!) but who knows? Little things have happened since my dad passed away and my twins will say its grandad and we will never know whether it is or isnt but its nice to think it is. 

    Best wishes to everyone,

    Tracy

  • Thats so amazing- can i ask where abouts your from or what medium that was? Ive been thinking about doing it for a little bit now but just dont know who to trust & worry they will say something negative that i wont be able to forget if you get me?

  • I'm sorry, but you were conned.  Mediums use a series of techniques, collectively called "Cold Reading", to convince you that they know things about someone they've never met.  

    Read more about Cold Reading in the Wikipedia article: Cold Reading.

    I'm glad you got some comfort out of this, but that doesn't alter the fact that no one can talk to the dead and anyone who claims they can is either a liar or deluded. There are no genuine mediums, but there are plenty of con artists. 

  • Hi there ...

    Love the thread and all the different opinions ... me, I'm stuck in the middle .. yes I believe they stay with us, looking over us ... too much has happened over the years to not believe ... 

    Yes l think there's con artist's out there ... the ones that charge an arm and a leg ... I think they get a lot from looking into people's reactions ... if they say nothing, not even a nod .. most of them are lost ... but I know there's a few out there who don't take money .. just do it from the heart ... and I think they have nothing to gain ... 

    I'd think very carefully before giving them money ... but then if it brings comfort , I can understand wanting to try anything ... my biggest sign was the time I was diagnosed with breast  cancer ..  feathers appeared everywhere .. esp in my bra... daily ... then months down the line, when my surgeon told me my grade 3 lump was contained , no lymph node effected,  and low risk of spread .. they just stopped ...

    Listen to your hearts ... and yes , l talk to mum up there when I need her ... l feel an arm round me and a a feeling she's close ... l dont need a clairvoyant to tell me ... though the one I saw who would not take a penny ... well she was ausome ... 

    Well never know the truth .. but then we know air is all around us, but we can't feel it, or touch it ... that's how I think of my mum ... sending you all a vertual hug.... Chrissie xx

  • This is a really nice post. I'm really glad u found comfort from this and has gave me some hope too. I lost my dad in August of 2019 who was 57 I am 36. I really want to see a medium but really afraid he won't come through and it b a waste of time and money and more upset. 

  • I believe!

    I am not religious but I think life would be a bit of a waste of time if that was the end when we go.

    I don't believe in fortune tellers, tarrot readers etc.

    My Mum and Grandma before her went to a spiritualist church for decades, my Mum 86 still does.

    If you have one near you maybe give it a try. It's not wierd or scary, no ouija boards (they strongly advise against it). They have different mediums every week. Some very good and some you think are making it up as they go along.

    I think if i'm told something personal to me that they couldn't make up, maybe even I had forgotten about then yes. Don't give anything away and if they chose to give you a message see what you think.

    If they say do you know a Steve or David etc most people do so I'm not convinced by those sort.
